Student: Keila Dukuze Date: Feb/10/2013 Lab# 3 Section: 110 Pre-Lab Report Determining the Density of Various Liquids and Solids The purpose of this experiment is to determine the weight (density) of certain liquids and solids in chemistry. These liquids include; Water‚ Hexane‚ Carbon Tetrachloride‚ and solids include; Copper‚ Zinc‚ Lead and‚ Aluminum. It’s important to know the weight of these products so you can properly conduct experiments and make clear observations. Different

Name Date Lab: Denisty – Solids and Liquids Part 1: Density Background Information: The density of an object is how much “stuff”‚ or molecules‚ a substance is made of. Density is how tightly packed the molecules are. To calculate the density of a substance we need to know the mass (weight) of the substance and the volume (how much space) of the substance. Mass is determined by weighing an object. Volume of regular shaped objects is calculated by measuring

The Density Challenge: A Complete Inquiry Activity Introduction Density has been an important part of science for a very long time. Density was discovered by Archimedes‚ a Greek mathematician‚ around 250 BC while determining whether a craftsman had replaced some of the gold in the King of Syracuse’s crown with silver. Density is the compactness of a substance. The new concept of density he discovered was used to expose the fraud. The purpose of this experiment is to make

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to identify whether density is an extensive or intensive physical property. By using water displacement‚ the volumes of the paper clip samples were measured and the masses were obtained by using an electronic balance. Each mass and volume was unique to their sample so by using their values‚ density was used to identify substances in the lab. After conducting the experiment‚ the results showed that there was a positive slope between the different paper

DENSITY OF LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS by Lab instructor: Due date: Results and discussion: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the densities of the unknown liquid and solid as precisely and accurately as possible in order to identify them. It was carried out first on distilled water in order to rule out systematic errors. A 10 mL beaker was placed on a top pan balance and “tared”. The beaker was then removed and 10 mL of distilled water was pipetted into it before it was placed

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Experiment Mass density describes how heavy an object is. Defined by the Greek letter ρ‚ read as rho‚ density is a basic yet important physical property of matter. For a bulk body without accounting its existing pores and voids‚ density is represented by the ratio of its mass and volume. It is given by the equation ρ= massvolume 1. The SI unit of density is kg/m3. However‚ its CGS units‚ g/cm3 or g/ mL‚ are the most commonly used ones in the laboratory. The

Lab No.1: density‚ accuracy and precision Aim: to determine the relative precision and accuracy of different glassware items by calculating the density of a known substance. Introduction: the density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. (where P-density‚ m- mass and v- volume). Different materials usually have different densities and densities vary according to the pressure‚ temperature and purity of a substance. When measuring‚ there is always a small uncertainty or error and therefore
